Don't Rain On My Parade

[Verse 1]

Don't tell me not to live

Just sit and putter

Life's candy

And the sun's a ball of butter

Don't bring a cloud around

To rain on my parade

[Verse 2]

Don't tell me not to fly

I've simply got to

If someone takes a spill

It's me and not you

Who told you you're allowed

To rain on my parade

[Bridge 1]

I'll march my band out

And I'll beat my drum

And if I'm fanned out

Your turn at bat, Sir

At least I didn't fake it

Your hat, Sir

I nearly didn't make it

Maybe I'm just a rose of sheer perfection

A freckle on the nose of life's complexion

A cinder of a shiny apple of its eye

[Bridge 2]

I've gotta fly once

I've gotta try once

Only can die once

Right, Sir

Love is juicy

Juicy and I'll say

I've gotta have my bite, Sir

[Verse 3]

Look out love

Oh babe I'm coming

Don't tell me not to march

My heart's a drummer

Who told you you're allowed

To rain on my parade

[Bridge 3]

I'm gonna live and live now

Get what I want I know how

One throw for the whole shebang

One throw that bell will go clang

High on the target and wham!

One shot one gun shot and bam!

[Verse 4]

Don't tell me not to live

Just sit and putter

Life's candy

And the sun's of ball of butter

Don't bring a cloud

Around to rain on my parade

[Verse 5]

Don't tell me not to fly

I've simply got to

If someone takes a spill

It's me and not you

Who told you you're allowed

To rain on my parade
